Purpose: The curriculum is designed to prepare the student to transfer into a baccalaureate degree program in engineering fields such as: mechanical engineering, civil engineering, chemical engineering, aeronautical engineering and naval architecture/marine engineering.
Recommended Preparation: High school courses: 4 units of English, 2 units of algebra, 1 unit of geometry, 1 unit of trigonometry, 1 unit of laboratory science (chemistry or physics).
Completion Requirements: Grades of "C" and above are required in those courses in the program that are intended to be transferred for credit to a baccalaureate degree-granting college/university.

Total minimum credits for the Engineering major (A.S. degree) = 63.
(1) The PED requirement may be met by one of the following options: PED 116, 2 cr.; PED 116, 1 cr. plus a PED activities course, 1 cr.; or PED 116, 1 cr. plus RPK 205, 207, 208, 216, or 225. PED 116 is offered as both a 1-credit and a 2-credit course.
(2) Must include one semester of history (American or Western Civilization) plus a second semester of history, economics, psychology, or sociology. A two semester sequence of courses is optimum for transfer.
(3) EGR 206 (2 credits) required at VPI and desirable elsewhere; EGR 246 (3 credits) required for ME and CE students; .
(4) Humanities electives may be chosen from ART, ENG, HUM, MUS, PHI, REL, SPD, or foreign languages.
(5) CIV 171 (3 credits) and CIV 172 (3 credits) desirable for CE students transferring to VPI; CHM 241 (3 credits) plus CHM 245 (2 credits), CHM 242 (3 credits) plus CHM 246 (2 credits) desirable for all CHEME students.
(*) These courses are not required for the A.S. degree; however, completion of them is desirable for transfer as a junior in Engineering. Consult the requirements of your transfer institution.
Purpose: The curriculum is designed to permit the student to transfer into a baccalaureate degree program in Electrical Engineering. All B.S. (EE) degree-granting colleges/universities require specific preparation in the sophomore year for EE majors.
Recommended Preparation: High school courses: 4 units of English, 2 units of algebra, 1 unit of geometry, 1 unit of trigonometry, 1 unit of laboratory science (chemistry or physics).
Completion Requirements: Grades of "C" and above are required in those courses in the program that are intended to be transferred for credit to a baccalaureate degree-granting college/university.
